New Car!

Its unfortunate but it looks like Nissan has done away with the special serialization of nismo cars. The NISMO GTR doesn't even have it either

I thought that was a cool touch

Well that sucks. It really is just another trim level now.

Make sure you bring that out to the next cars and coffee meet.

I ordered one already, and it is a little disappointing they did away w the numbering. I just talked to a guy I met at Zdayz who works for corporate nissan. He said they did away with the numbering due to the Nismo edition not being exclusive to the Z. :(

Yeah, I figured since almost all Nissan models are now going to get a Nismo trim, that was the reasoning for not being numbered anymore.

Its not special anymore. Nissan ruined "nismo" now. It used to be a prestigious and rare thing and now its the difference between getting an s maxima and an sv. Reduced to yet another Uninspired basic trim level. Probably even assembled in the same place now. Now u can take all the nismo parts and put it on a base and pass it off as a nismo. No one would be the wiser without the serial number plate matching a VIN.

No offense to those who bought one its just my opinion that its uglier, heavier, probably performs the same and is more expensive with less exclusivity and sentamental value. Reminds me of those OZ rally mitsubishi lancers, pretending to be be passed off as something comparable to a real evo. Seats are sweet though, +1 for that.

Even the 370 nismo 09-14 were a slight backwards step to what the old 350 nismo had, and all the previous japan only Z's and the r32-34 nismos. At least those had structural chassis changes, more welding, and a significantly different overal performance and value. Nismo has really fallen from grace in the past decade.

Dude, take your Nismo to Carmax and be done with it already.....or just set it on fire. It sucks you have poor credit and a kid on the way, and can't get rid of your's fast enough...but thats life.

Damn. You know this isn't the Z35 Z right? It's still a cool car that serves a purpose.

I have mixed feelings about the look of the new nismo but it does have its great angles. I do like how the front fascia openings slightly resembles that of the Aventador. With regards to Nismo I just wish it was a true complete package uprgrade in the sense of BMW with their M's or Mercedes with AMG and etc etc. Even if it tip toes into GT-R HP territory so be it. The GT-R would still sell well even with a close competing sibling because people who want one would still buy it because of it being a "holy grail" of the car scene. C'mon NISMO!!!! :driving:

Just for reference of the slight similarity I was talking about.

That's a Huracan

These 2015s are in serious need of some spacers in the back. I can't be the only one who sees this right?

Yea they definitely need spacers the fender flares they added to the kit make the gap look worse.

They need a drop some spacers and the 09-14 nismo wing.

yup thats why. I guess their logic was they would need to do it for every model or something


I had the #33 NISMO 350z by chance and always thought that was cool since it was Z33. so yeah I really liked the serial # thing.

you think thats bad.... Im taking delivery of #1 GTR NISMO ever built for the US in a couple weeks and it doesnt have a designation on it. the VIN is just a generic #1608. I did get Nissan to have me a plaque made( not for the car but for like a wall) made so thats better than nothing
